Colours Advice

Most important is – whatever colour schemes you choose, be sure to get testers first to try out as the colours will appear to change in different rooms or even on different walls due to the incident lighting……. North facing light can sometimes make pure whites and pale blues, pale greens & greys look cool & clinical – in a north-facing room, creams, off-whites & neutral stone-like colours are a better choice as they are inherently "warming" – unless your preference is for a cooling colour scheme. Paint directly onto your walls or onto A4 paper & move around the room to be absolutely sure of your choices before committing to buy in bulk.

Bold colours – are fine even in large areas but a couple of things to remember – dark colours "advance" & lighter colours tend to recede, so a dark ceiling will seem to be much lower - and a lighter one will float away upwards – these effects can be used to manipulate your living spaces – for example, to foreshorten a corridor by painting the door at the end in a darker colour or to lift a low ceiling by painting it a paler shade than the walls. If you want to be adventurous with colour, remember than you can always go extreme in bathrooms, utilities and (to a lesser extent) kitchens, as these spaces are not a "lived in" environment but rather serve a specific shorter time function.

Neutrals, creams, off-whites & stone-like colours are perennially popular for very good reason – they are easy to live with & team up superbly with natural furnishings, wood, stone & carpets – if you feel that you need a flourish in your living room, a feature wall done out in a bold paint colour or wallpaper will energize the whole room, whereas a whole room in a bold floral or geometric print can easily become overwhelming very quickly.
